Luchow's German apple cakes

Method

Whisk ¾ cup flour with the eggs, ½ tbsp sugar and the salt in a large bowl until well combined.

Add the milk, all at once, and whisk until smooth. Set aside to stand for 30 mins.

Then add the apple with a little more flour if too thin. Stir well and taste, adding more sugar if needed.

Heat a little oil and a knob of butter in a non-stick heavy-bottomed (or crepe) pan until just melted and cook a few dollops of the batter at a time, making sure there is plenty of apple, until golden brown on both sides. Don’t over crowd the pan! Drain well.

Then combine 2 tbsp sugar with the cinnamon.

Serve the cakes with the cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top and a dollop of cream on the side, if you like.

nb. If you like neat cakes, use pastry cutters in the pan.
